After a day of rest & scenic cruise down the Moselle River:
Yes that is my toe in the photo below, taken from our French balcony as we were waiting to enter a lock.
We then prepared for our special invitation dinner (we all received these invitations, unlike some special people who scored an invite to the Captain's table the previous evening)!
We docked at some little spot on the river where our coach came to collect us and drive the 40 minutes to Andernach where Burg Namedy Castle is located. This castle is just beautiful and now used for special receptions, weddings etc.
We were greeted by staff with champagne, canopes etc and welcomed warmly. Next we were informed we were free to wander through both the castle & gardens as we wished.
Some inside photos:
The meal was just delicious & the service divine:
Our Table:
We were entertained during the meal by a fantastic Russian classical pianist, very very special evening.
During the evening our ship had moved further down the river so we had a much shorter trip by coach back. All onbard by around 11.30pm & off to bed.
Tomorrow morning we leave Andernach & sail to Cologne.
More tomorrow.
Betty & Mike
